    Does anyone have a good explanation for why sewer is above drinking water? Wouldn’t it be safer to do it the other way?

        Natural gas and water in-lines are usually pressurized so it’d mostly be the other way around.

        I think it doesn’t matter at all. I̶t̶’̶s̶ ̶g̶o̶n̶n̶a̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶t̶a̶m̶i̶n̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶e̶i̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶.̶ it has three seals and two sensors per pipe to tell if it has started to leak so it’ll all show up before it becomes an issue anyways.
